HBO Renews 'Veep' & 'Silicon Valley' But T.J. Miller Won't Be Back

HBO had some good news and bad news for "Silicon Valley" fans today, renewing the show for a fifth season, but also announcing that the producers of the show and T.J. Miller "mutually agreed" that Miller would not return for Season 5.

Does that have a whiff of drama? Or is just the show just naturally ready to move on without Miller's character, entrepreneur Erlich Bachman, as Miller is also ready to move on to other things?

"The producers of Silicon Valley and T.J. Miller have mutually agreed that T.J. will not return for Season 5. In Erlich Bachman, T.J. has brought to life an unforgettable character, and while his presence on the show will be missed, we appreciate his contribution and look forward to future collaborations."

Miller has been a busy boy, hosting awards shows, co-starring in "Deadpool," promoting the upcoming "The Emoji Movie," and gearing up for his first HBO special on June 17.
